Matt Richardson has been withdrawn from the Great Britain squad for this week's World Track Cycling Championships in Shanghai amid reports he is under investigation for misconduct.

British Cycling confirmed the 27-year-old Olympic medallist's removal in a statement but did not give a reason.

Last Wednesday, Richardson was named in the British squad for the championships, which run from 14-18 October.

He had been expected to contend for three medals in the team sprint, individual sprint and keirin.

Richardson switched allegiance from Australia to Britain after the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, where he won two silver medals and a bronze.

He was also forced to miss his anticipated England debut at the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow in July after crashing during a keirin event in Japan.

BBC Sport has approached Richardson's representatives for comment.

Olympic team sprint champions Emma Finucane and Sophie Capewell will be hoping to regain their world title. Welsh rider Finucane arrives in Shanghai after a brilliant summer which saw her win a record four golds at the Glasgow Commonwealth Games.
